Frequent urination incidents - how normal?

[kyledmb]

I've had my R1T since June 2023 and have already caught (on Gear Guard) 3 separate incidents of people walking up an urinating on my truck.

Most recent was this weekend in Portland. I'd post the video, but I'm sure it violates all sorts of Forum rules...it's pretty graphic. Guy just walks up to the front, pulls it out and lets out a nice 40 second stream.

Best one was a drunk girl when I was parked at a Smashing Pumpkins concert. She had to catch herself on to the truck so she wouldn't fall over.

How often does this happen? 3x for me, so I am averaging 1 urination incident every other month. Do people know they are being recorded? I had a Tesla for 3 years before the R1T and this never happened with that car.

Anyone else out there struggling with this?

Not at all normal.

I suppose, when you gotta go, you gotta go. That being said… people suck, and you have some bad luck.

WTF?

Not at all normal... weirdos!!

Not normal. Not acceptable. What the heck is wrong with people?
I don't blame you for being "pissed."

This is insane. Sorry you have to deal with this. Maybe we all
Need to start checking get guard more.

I also find that quite unusual. The OP must be traveling in some bizarre areas.

I don’t keep up with the videos to verify urination frequency… but in the first month or two I did have one incident at a hiking trailhead.

Urine Washington...lotta homeless in urea? I'd be so pissed.

One incident was in Seattle, most recent in downtown Portland, and the SM concert was this summer in Bend.

For Portland, and likely much of the PNW, totally normal.

Seattle and Portland. Enough said.

I always thought that the PNW was more sophisticated. I was thinking that this type of behavior was more prevalent at 2:00 AM in the parking lot of a popular red neck roadhouse in the rural Florida Panhandle.

Sounds like the SP concert event was random, your Rivian just happened to be at the right/wrong place at the right/wrong time??

Did the other two appear to be specifically targeted because you have a EV?

I pissed all over my R1S first - you need to mark your territory and establish dominance immediately. This has greatly limited the incidences of random Portlandians trying to claim my vehicle as their own. They come up, sniff, and then skitter away in fear.
